Tuesday 6th April4:26pmDay two. The adventure starts properly.
...Or at least it does after the mandatory explanation of how to catch pokemon. ¬_¬ Still, at least I got some free Pokeballs out of it.
Ooh, the 3D-ness of the bag menu...
4:36pmCaught my first pokemon. A male Pidgey which I've nicknamed Pell.
6:16pmFinally got the laptop back from my mum and restocked my supplies at the Cherrygrove Mart. I then headed back along Route 29 until I got to the gate to Route 46.
6:19pmCaught a Rattata, which I then named Ratigan.
6:24pmFinally got what I came for: a Geodude. It took a while to whittle down his health because he kept using Defense Curl. Eventually I got it low enough, caught it, and nicknamed him Roxxor.
6:27pmCaught a Sentret on the way back to Cherrygrove. I named him McTwisp.
6:36pmFirst wild pokemon battle in Route 30, both Ratigan and Totodile levelled up. I sent out Ratigan first, then switched to Totodile.
6:37pmJust picked an Apricorn for the first time... It's rather weird to watch it shooting out of the
top of the tree...
6:45pmI may have just made a huge mistake: I gave my number to Youngster Joey. Meh, if I get as pissed off with his calls as other people seem to, I only have myself to blame.
BTW, Pell got to level 5 during the battle and learned Sand-Attack. I now have to wait another four levels before he learns another damaging move...
6:47pmI just switched Roxxor out to the front so I can level him up. It's a bit weird to watch a Geodude following me... The guy has no legs and doesn't appear to be floating...
7:06pmI encountered and captured a Weedle soon after my previous entry, but had to help my sister bring in the washing. Also, I couldn't think of a good nickname. She repaid me, however, by helping me choose the name Lightyear, so it all worked out okay.
7:10pmRoxxor just went up to level 4 and learned Mud Sport. Yeah, 'cause I'll be using that attack
so often...
7:14pmJust beat Youngster Mikey, Joey's eternal rival!!
...Anyway, Ratigan went up to level 4 and learned Quick Attack.
7:22pmJust beat Bug Catcher Don and McTwisp went up to level 4, learning Defense Curl.
Pokemon Trainers are a rather antisocial lot, aren't they? I talked to the person on Route 30 who tells you that if you meet a Trainer's eyes, you
have to battle.
Youngster Joey: You looking at me?
Me: No...
Youngster Joey: Right, you asked for it!
*sics his Rattata on me*
7:44pmJust beat Bug Catcher Wade, with Lightyear going up to level 4, and both Roxxor and Ratigan rising to level 5. I registered Wade's number and went on my merry way.
I would've posted this sooner but my DSi ran out of power in the middle of the battle, so I had to switch over to my Lite.
7:47pmJust got the Vs. Recorder from Lyra in the Violet City/Route 31 gate. As soon as I enter the city, I'm heading for the Pokemon Centre...
Well, that's it for today. I'm really sorry it wasn't more interesting, but tomorrow's entry will be better, I swear. I'm going to spend some time tonight levelling up my pokemon in Route 31, in preparation for tomorrow's events.
